I live in country Victoria, Australia. Until a year ago I had  sailed plastic (non-wooden) rc sailboats for 10 years,  many of them, actually.
Then I found someone in the USA offering plans for custom classic sailboats using just thin plywood. So far I have built, and am sailing three of  them, a schooner and two sloops. A fourth is just started, a 58" schooner similar to the first, but somewhat modified .
But recently , while having lunch between racing, it occurred to me that using the plywood hull building techniques it shouldn't be a huge task to build a 1 metre or so rc electric powered river side-paddle boat.  Knowing that it wont be easy, I started looking for a suitable forum.
I plan to build it up from locally available plans  for  a 1 metre P.S. Adelaide, now 150 y.oo. and still plying the Murray river (or so I read)..

So here I am.   

Welcome Nemo.
Builders always welcome

Welcome to the forum Nemo, and I wish you the best of luck with your new project. I am just about to look for RC stuff for my 1 meter long launch so maybe you can give me some tips.

Damien.

Thanks for the welcome and encouragement.   

I'm never slow in asking for advice and help or providing it where I can.

Bit surprised to find so many members in my region, some virtually neighbors.

I'll go visit  Floataboat within a fortnight (been on my lists for a long time) and check out some options.

As soon as I lay the keel , so to speak, I'll post progressive stages. At this stage I'm just absorbing info.

I'll start a new thread when that time comes.  I usually make YouTube videos as soon as a boat is  operational.
